PREFACE. 



It is not the purpose in these pages to enter upon a defence or 
justification of the study of genealogy — those who are fond of declar- 
ing that they do not know their grandparents' names and never felt 
any interest to inquire, will hardly read this book at all. 

Equally remote is it from our thought to boast of our pedigree, as 
springing from the titled or wealthy classes of the past. The various 
families herein mentioned are representatives of that sturdy race 
which peopled New England in the 17th century, and in the 19th 
has carried abroad a reputation for independence of thought, industry 
and general intelligence, that is quite its own. 

We may even claim that a good share of the strength, the virtues 
and the courage of this ancestry is alive to-day in the present repre- 
sentatives of these families, and perhaps this is as truly a source of 
pride as any we could name. 

This publication marks the completion of a work begun over ten 
years ago, the expression of an interest awakened long before by 
talks with my father, whose love for his family was ever deep and 
strong. While it is true that for much of this period the material 
has lain neglected, yet the purpose has never been abandoned. 

The gathering of data has a fascination in itself, though the 
amount of labor involved is comprehensible only to those who have 
tried it for themselves. And the meeting with new found kindred, 
leading in some instances to lasting friendship, is perhaps the greatest 
reward of such service. 

Much of the information here given, especially that relating to the 
earlier generations, was learned from lips now forever silent. The 
very meeting and converse with these elders has been an inspiration. 



v iu 3CENDANT8 OF ELEAZEE FLAGG. 

In plan the present work differs from the ordinary family history 
in thai it is not concerned with any one family name, but carries out 
to the present in every line the descendants of one 18th century 

couple. 

From the outset the purpose has been to avoid what is found in some 
genealogies, mere lists of names and dates (and occasionally even the 
latter are largely wanting). As far as possible a brief sketch is 
inserted of each member of the family. Naturally, on the other hand, 
i t ] ;; . quite out of the question to admit extended biograpl, 

There has a Bpecial effort to bring the record in each cai 

down to tin- year 1902. Out of over 400 living adults, not over 
half a dozen have failed to be reached with inquiri • 

In general the family has shown a commendable pride and inter- 
est ; sometimes after vexatious delay ; while in a few cases there has 
been an utter neglect to notice my queries. No known means have 
been left untried to insure completeness. 

1: -aiding the ancestry of those who married into the family in 
early generations, explanation is due that I have been able to spare 
but little time for this work, and have accepted, generally without 
verification, what seemed the best authorities. 

A few words about the scheme of arrangement : each family 
( parents and children) is given a separate Arabic numeral, beginning 
with " 1 " for Eleazer and Huldah (Chandler) Flagg and extending 
to " .". 10". First under each number comes the father's full name, 
while the name of the parent, whether father or mother, who is by 
birth a member of the family, is printed in heavy type, followed by a 
superior figure indicating the generation. The children are placed 
last, with Roman numerals denoting order of birth. When a child 
has no issue | whether or not married), full record is inserted in this 
place: those having children are briefly noticed here, and receive a 
special Arabic number in the margin, and full entry farther on in 
order. 

This enables one to readily follow down to all descendants of a 
given person. For tracing back to ancestors, the tables on p _ 
;i-7 are employed, which at the same time show relationship to other 
lines. To facilitate their at ference n by number to the 

specific table; and for generations below the tilth, the descent from 

an ancestor in that generation. 



PREFACE. i x 

Grateful acknowledgment is due to those who have manifested 
special interest in the work and have been at considerable trouble to 
help me : — among the older members of the family, first to my be- 
loved father, whose interest and encouragement formed one of the 
strongest reasons for undertaking it; to Mrs. Rebecca (Hunt) 
Roberts, Dr. Otis F. Presbrey, Mrs. Louisa (Goddard) Knowlton, 
Edmund S. Holbrook, Esq., and Rev. James Tufts, Jr., all of whom 
have since passed away. 

Of those still living, I am under special obligations to my cousin 
and brother-in-law, Walter N. Waters, who has gathered most of the 
material for the line of Huldah (Flagg) Waters ; also to Mr. 
Jason Waters, Mrs. Blanche M. (Stone) Putnam, Miss Lurentha 
M. Hawks, Miss Gertrude E. Flagg, Miss Theodora Rust, Mrs. 
Martha M. (Goddard) Seymour, Dr. Edward Goddard, Mrs. 
Nancy G. (Brooks) Dolliver, Mrs. Jennie A. (Brooks) Seaver, my 
aunt Mrs. Maria O. (Flagg) Hunt, Miss Ellen M. Fiske, Mr. 
William B. Fiske, Miss Mary Newton and many others.

ABBREVIATIONS. 

The usual abbreviations are used : b. for born.; co. for company or 
county ; d. for died ; dau. for daughter ; m. for married ; rem. for removed ; 
res. for resided or residence ; s. for son ; s. p. for without issue (sine. /prole) ; 
unm. for unmarried. Where others have been employed it is thought they 
will explain themselves. 

When no state is mentioned, Massachusetts is to be understood, unless 
from the context some other one is clearly indicated. 



TABLES 

Showing the second to fifth generations of Descendants of Eleazer and 
Hnldah Flagg, in each of the five branches. 

Note that these charts contain only those living to-day, or who have 
descendants now living. In the family history which follows, each person 
is located by reference to one of these tables, or, if below the fifth genera- 
tion, by tracing back to an ancestor in that generation. 

The serial numbers used in the body of the work are given in parenthe- 
ses, and married names of women are italicized.

FIRST GENERATION. 



SECOND GENERATION. 



FIRST GENERATION. 



Eleazer Flagg,* son of Eleazer and Deborah (Tompkins) 
Flagg, and the third of the name in direct line, was born in Con- 
cord, the home of his father and grandfather, 23 October, 1709. 
In his time the surname was in process of transformation from the 
earlier Fl egg, the form found (with variations, Fleg, Flee, &c.) 
on the English records back as far as the Norman conquest or 
before, and uniformly used in this country the first two or three 
generations. He himself almost invariably employed the form Flagg, 
as the other members of the family have since his time. His early 
days were doubtless spent at the ancestral home in Concord, though 
we have no definite record on this point, or of the exact date of his 
coming to Hassanamisco, f of which town his father Eleazer Flagg, 
2d, was one of the original forty proprietors. Family tradition has 
it that he was there in 1728, the year of the purchase from the 
Indians. At first a settler on his father's lands, as were his younger 
brothers Robert and Nathaniel at the same or a little later period, 
he became a landholder himself in 1731, as shown by a deed on file 
in the Worcester County Court House, of which the following is a 
partial copy : 

To all People to whom this present Deed of Gift Shall Come Greeting 
Know ye that I Eleazer Flagg of Concord in the County of Middle x : in

our ancestor, in 1732, four years after the original settlement It 
has been handed down in the family from that day to this, being 
inherited by the writer from his father in 1900. 

In 1745 a substantial farmhouse was erected; the homestead 
bark to winch each member of the family mentioned m this book 
., trace his line. Tradition says that it replaced an older structure 
of loo-s, and that the new building was the work ol another Flagg, 
doubtless Robert, Nathaniel or James, brothers of Lleazer, all 
living in the neighborhood. . lft . Kli 

After standing for a centurv the house was torn down in lb4o by 
the widow of Joseph Flagg who erected another more modern one 
on the spot (since removed). A little south of the old site 1 etei 
Hunt, who was the next owner of the farm, built a substantia 
brick dwelling which is still standing. The only hkeness known ol 
the old house is a painting made about 1845, by Mrs. J. U. Bur- 
leigh for Mrs. Maria (>. Hunt, from which our frontispiece is copied. 
The early settlers of Hassanamisco were not unmindful ot relig- 
ious interests and duties; services seem to have been held very 
mIv, and 28 Dec. L731, a church was organized (parent ot the 
presenl First Congregational [Unitarian] and Evangelical Congre- 
gational societies |. Among the 20 signers of the original covenant

FIRST GENERATION. 13 

The settlement of Worcester had preceded that of Grafton by a 
few years, and prominent among the early residents was Capt. Ben- 
jamin Flagg, an own cousin of our Eleazer's father. Worcester 
County was formed in 1731, and its second sheriff was this Capt. 
Flagg, who held the position 1743-1751, and one of whose acts 
was to appoint his Grafton kinsman a deputy. The following is a 
copy of a paper in possession of the compiler :

From a memorandum book, still preserved, and other papers, it 
appears that our ancestor performed the duties of the position to a 
considerable extent in neighboring towns, serving writs, warrants, 
etc. 

The Flagg place in the Merriam District lay on the main road 
between southern Worcester Co., and Boston and the towns on the 
coast. There is in existence a petition presented to the " Justices of 
the General sessions of the peace for the County of "Worcester," 
Aug. 175(3, praying that Eleazer Flagg might be licensed to act as 
a public innholder, signed by Cornelius Putnam, Richard Waters* 
and 42 others, resident in Sutton and towns about there. It is be- 
lieved that such public house was kept for a few years. 

His elder son, also named Eleazer, was provided with an estate 
on George Hill in Grafton, and left home early, dying a young 
man ; but the younger son, Samuel, remained Avith his parents and 
took the farm when his father was too old to manage it. The old 
gentleman was very infirm in his last years ; after the marriage of

Eleazer Flagg married at Concord, 28 Sept. 1731, Huldah 
Chandler,* daughter of Samuel and Dorcas (Buss) Chandler; 
born Concord, 5 July, 1709. It is probable that she also was a 
child of one of Grafton's original forty proprietors, though here, as 
in her husband's case, the fact that father and son bore the same 
name and were not in any way distinguished in the records, make 
it possible that her brother Samuel Jr. was the one mentioned as 
proprietor, as he certainly was the one actually interested in the 
settlement. 

Mrs. Huldah Flagg was received into full communion by the 
Grafton Church, 20 Feb. 1742. She died 27 Jan. 1765. f

SECOND GENEKATION. 



Stephen Watees, son of Kichard* and Anne (Holraan) Wa- 
ters, was born in West Sutton, 13 Apr. 1735. His father, Richard 
Waters, Jr., set off to him a portion of the estate, southeast of his 
own homestead. In 1757, according to the History of Sutton, the 
young man erected upon it the house to which he brought his bride, 
Huldah Flagg of Grafton, five years later, and which has been the 
Waters home from that day to this, now owned by his great-grand- 
son, Samuel Nathan Waters ; this same land having been handed 
down from father to son from 1723. Stephen, with his father and 
brothers, made many trips to Boston to sell their produce. This 
long drive of forty miles meant good horses and early starts. The 
best road led through Grafton by the house of Eleazer Flagg, 
where they often stopped for refreshment for man and beast. So 
here Stephen met Huldah. He was a strong, large boned man and 
she was rather small and delicate. 

Like others of his family, Stephen Waters was a great cultivator 
of apples and manufactured cider in considerable quantities. His 
orchards, still bearing fruit and showing remarkable growth, on the 
rocky and steep hillside, bear evidence of years of hard Avork to 
transform the primeval forest into the largest and best apple orchards 
in the region. Being a Free-Will Baptist, he did not join the close 
communion Baptists in Sutton, whose elder for many years was his 
brother Samuel Waters. He died at W. Sutton, 10 Jan. 1819. 

He married at Grafton, 19 May, 1762, Huldah Flagg, 2 born 
at Grafton, 14 Dec. 1732. She was an invalid for many years in 
the latter part of her life ; her husband was often seen going to and 
from the adjoining town of Oxford to borrow the chaise of an aris- 
tocratic gentleman, Gen. Davis, to give her a ride. No one in 
town possessed such a vehicle. Mrs. Waters was a very devout 
woman, read her Bible almost constantly in her illness until she be- 
came blind, and then would have her grandchildren, who affection- 
atety called her " Granny," read it to her. She died in West 
Sutton, 24 Jan. 1825.

Eleazer Flagg, 2 the fourth Eleazer Flagg in direct line, was 
born at Grafton, 12 Nov. 1734. His uncle Nathaniel Flagg f 

7 DO 

Grafton, 6 May, 1761, conveyed to him a plot of 34 acres and 
50 rods on George Hill, Grafton, undoubtedly part of the original 
share of his grandfather Eleazer Flagg (2d) in 1728. It is evident 
that the purchase of this place for £120 was really his father's act 
and part of the latter's plan of providing for his children. He 
died in Grafton, 10 Feb. 1767. 

The widow was appointed administratrix, and the inventory 
showed a total of £281, Is. lid., including about thirty-five acres of 
land, with buildings, valued at £146, 3s. 4d. 22 Mar. 1768, the 
Judge of probate allowed her accounts " whereby it appears a Bal- 
lance Remains in her hands of £75, 18s. 7Jd. which she is fur- 
ther to account "or & as ye family have been kept together & one of 
ye Children but about a month old when ye Dec d Dyed I allow her 
ye Improvement of ye Real Estate Therefor." In 1772, after the 
i carriage of the widow, Joseph Merriam, Jr., was appointed guar- 
dian of the children, and two years later we find him petitioning the 
Governor and General Court, etating that Eleazer Flagg, Jr., left 
an estate of about 35 acres " which by reason of the inconvenient 
circumstances it now is in will not rent annually for perhaps half so 
much money as the interest of the money said land if sold would fetch 
and as there is two young children heirs thereto for whom petitioner 
is guardian," lie prayed authority to sell at once. Permission was 
ited, and accordingly, 11 May, 1776, the place on George Hill 
sold for £147, 6s. 8d. I i Jeduthan Fay of Westboro. Fam- 
ily tradition has it that payment was deferred, and owing to depre- 
ciation >f the currency, very little was ever realized by the heirs. 
At least a part of the land with the house later came into possession 
of the Forbush family. 

The children of Eleazer (1th) finally severed their connection 



SECOND GENERATION. 21 

with Grafton by the sale to their uncle Samuel Flagg, 13 Feb. 
1806, of the fi T7 e acre lot which came to them by their grandfather 
Flagg's will. The deed is signed by Eleazer Flagg of Conway and 
Isaac and Sarah Dole of Shelburne. 

Eleazer Flagg (4th) married, Concord, 8 Dec. 1763, Sarah 
Chandler,* daughter of James and Mary (Wright) Chandler; born 
in Concord, 9 Dec. 1742. She married (2d) 31 Mar. 1768, Nath- 
aniel Goddard of Grafton, and removed with him and the children 
to Conway. (She bore him one child, Mary Goddard, baptized in 
Grafton 1 July, 1770, and married to Stephen Billings of Conway.) 
Nathaniel Goddard died 31 Oct. 1815, aged 77. Mrs. Sarah 
(Chandler) Goddard died in Shelburne, 18 April, 1833, in her 91st 
, year.

Benjamin Goddard,* son of Benjamin and Mary (Kidder) God- 
dard, was born in Grafton, 4 Nov. 1736. He served as a young 
man in the Old French and Indian war, and the story is told that 
he was sentenced to death because an Indian captive left in his 
charge had escaped ; he was later pardoned. At another time, the 
enemy poisoned the water supply and he and others narrowly es- 
caped death, and suffered long afterward from the effects. During 
the Revolution he was again in service. The state rolls show him 
to have been sergeant in Capt. Aaron Kimball's company of minute 
men, Col. Artemas Ward's regiment, which marched on the alarm 
19 April, 1775, and was discharged 18 May, after four weeks' ser- 
vice. It is probable that he was in other command.:! during the war, 
and we are informed how during his absence in the army a detach- 
ment of British soldiers took possession of his home and ate or car- 
ried away nearly everything on the place. He built the old Goddard 
house, standing on the road to Westboro, a mile and a half from 
Grafton Centre; torn down about 1865. 

He was town clerk 1776-90 and 1793-94, selectman various 
years between 1777 and 1792, justice of the peace for Worcester 
Co. after 1789, and otherwise prominent in local affairs. He died 
in Grafton, 11 Mar. 1806. He married, Grafton, 8 Dec. 1763, 
Mary Flagg, 2 born Grafton, 19 Mar. 1740 ; died 6 Apr. 1824.

Samuel Flagg 2 was born in Grafton, 5 Dec. 1741. He re- 
mained at home with hie parents, and on his father's death in 1771 
became the owner of the homestead in the Memam District, Grat- 
ton Here he spent his whole life, known universally as one of the 
best and must successful farmers in the town. From the fact that 
he manufactured malt in large quantities, he was often known as 
"Maltster" Flao-o-. Of a retiring disposition and without political 
ambition, he never sought public life, nor held offices except those 
in his native town, serving as selectman in 1782, 1801 and 1SUD. 
In religion, tradition says that he was a Baptist, though his wife was 
a member of the old Congregational church in Grafton Center, where 
he himself often attended and where his children were baptized. 

To quote the words of one, George W. Drury, who in youth was 
his hired man and lived in the family, and who died at 95, He was

Daniel Hayden,* son of Elisha and Lydia (Fairbanks) Hayden, 
was born in Hopkinton, 16 Dec. 1748. He was the owner of con- 
siderable real estate in Grafton , and built and occupied the last house 
on the old Upton road. He and his wife were early members of the 
Baptist church in town where Mr. Hayden led the singing for many 
years. After the marriage of their daughter Submit in 1807 and 
her removal to Vermont, they sold all their property in Grafton the 
next year and bought a farm on Dog River, Berlin, Vt., a mile and 
a half from Montpelier. The purchaser of the home in Grafton was 
Pardon Aldrich, but it was later occupied by Cushrnan Hayden (not 
related) and so to older residents of Grafton still known as the "Hay- 
den place " though now more commonly designated by the name of 
a later occupant, one Leonard. It was the scene of Grafton's most 
noted crime, the murder of Henry Powers by Jonathan Brooks in 
1835. 

The new home of the Haydens in Berlin was considered the best 
farming land in the town and was sold for $18,000 after they left it ; 
is still known as the Hayden farm. The old couple were unfortun- 
ately involved in financial misfortune through the business ventures 
of their son John, and were compelled to give up their place. In 
Berlin they identified themselves with the Methodist church. 

Mr. Hayden was of powerful build and could do a man's work at 
80. His grandson James Tufts who knew him in his last years thus 
described him : " A prodigious worker, strong as a giant and spry as 
a fox ; and full of humor and good nature." 

He died in Berlin, Vt., 9 Nov. 1841. He married in Sutton, 9 
June, 1773, Submit Flagg 2 ; born in Grafton, 5 Sept. 1744; 
after the marriage of the older members of the family, she remained 
on the place with her brother Samuel and cared for their parents in 
their last years. Was noted in later life for her piety and remark- 
able knowledge of the Bible. She died in Berlin, 14 Mar. 1839.

THIED GENERATION. 



John Waters 3 [Table I] ; born in W. Sutton, 23 Oct. 1764. 
Like his brothers and sisters he was small and weak in infancy, and 
the story is told how, when he was born, the nurse put him in a two- 
quart pail and shut the cover. Later he developed into a large, 
powerful man, over six feet in height. From his father he inherited 
a large farm ; and devoted himself even more extensively to fruit, so 
that he was reported to have the largest apple orchards in that part of 
Mass. He made much cider — the ground about the house was said 
to be soaked with it. If his grandchildren as babies appeared to 
like the taste of it, he was sure they were Waters babies. The tall 
stone posts, which he split out of the solid rock for gate-posts, and 
which he set in the ground five or six feet, are monuments of his 
untiring energy. He worked until bed-time and was so unused to 
sitting still that he could not keep awake in church. 

Most of the timber used in building the W. Sutton Baptist church 
came from his woodland, and old subscription lists show that he was 
foremost in the support of said church. 

When too old and too rheumatic to stand, he sat in his old arm 
chair (still preserved) and made them bring him wood to saw. And 
in his very last years, when unable to get around without crutches, 
it was his custom to take a stool and establish himself under each of 
his apple trees in turn, and there by means of a hoe and long-handled 
saw loosen the ground and trim the tops till his critical eye was 
suited, when he would gather up his tools and move on to the next. 

As he had previously provided for his son Stephen, at his death 
the farm was equally divided between Nathan and Richard, the 
younger sons. He died in W. Sutton, 19 Oct. 1847. Married 1st, 
Sutton, 25 Nov. 1790, Huldah Howard, daughter Capt. John and 
Huldah (Sibley) Howard; born in Oxford, 23 June, 1768 ; died in 
W. Sutton, 26 Sept. 1795. Married 2d, Sutton, 15 Dec. 1796,

Daniel Hunt, son John and Kezia (Darling) Hunt of Glocester, 
R. [., born probably in Burrillville, 11. I., 1751. Was a farmer, 
and after his third marriage, about 1804, bought the Ebenezer 
Waters place in W. Sutton, adjacent to the home of his father-in- 
law, Stephen Waters, and previously the property of the latter's 
father, Richard. He held it but a short time, and the estate later 
■.!. into the hands of the Bullard family, which still has it. From 
AY. Sutton, Mr. Hunt removed to Douglas where he held consider- 
land and built a sawmill. While here he left the Baptist church 
to \\ hich he had previously belonged, and joined the Quakers. About 
1808, removed to Providence, K. I., to go into the retail grocery 
business with his brother Seth, but his plans failed through the 
dishonesty of the man to whom he had sold his Douglas property. 
Died in Providence, R.I., 30 Oct. 1810. Married 1st, Patty South-

(Sigourney) Towne. 
ii. Rebecca, b. Douglas, 28 Dec. 1805. While in her " teens " she 
joined her mother's church, the Baptists, but in 1835 united 
with the Friends. The same year, when her husband went 
out to Ohio to look the ground over, she remained to care for 
her brother's children, and in removing the following year to 
the new home, took them along and kept them till he remarried 
in 1841. She was always a warm friend of the Indians, and in 
1849-51, while Mr. Jenks was temporarily in New England, 
she acted as matron of a girls' school among the Shawnees, 
about ten miles from the present Kansas City. And in 1869, 
when her second husband, Dr. Roberts, received appointment 
as Indian agent, he chose to serve among the Shawnees that 
she might be near " her children " as she "called them. 

She was a remarkable woman, and had she received the bene- 
fits of more education in youth, must have taken her place amoncr 
the leading spirits of her time. With New England thrift she 
had laid aside some property, and it was her pleasure in her last 
years to help those in need. After Dr. Roberts' death she re- 
sided in Oskaloosa, la., with her neice Mrs. Coburn and a step- 
daughter Mrs. Hambleton, save for the years 1893-95 when 
she was with another neice, Mrs. Goidd, in Brewster, Mass.; d.

Elcazer Flagg' 3 [Table II.] ; born 10 Jan. 17G7. He was but 
one month old at the time his father's death broke up the home on 
George Hill, Grafton, and on his mother's second marriage to Na- 
thaniel Goddard he undoubtedly became a member of the hitter's 
household and removed with the family to Conway in the early 
"seventies." There is a vague family tradition that as a child, he was 
in or near Lexington on the 19th of April, 1775, and was a witness of 
the stirring events of that day ; and it is not unlikely that he was 
with his mother's family in the neighborhood of Concord. 

He learned the trade of a cabinet maker, but sustained an acci- 
dental injury which prevented his following it. Was all his life a 
farmer in Conway, which at the beginning of the last century was 
one of the most populous towns in western Mass. Died in Conway, 
28 May, 1847. Married in Conway, 3 Feb. 1793, Elizabeth War-

born in New Braintree, 30 Sept. 1764. As a young man he adopt- 
ed the above spelling of the family name in place of the older Tuffs. 
Was graduated A.B. at Rhode Island College (now Brown Uni- 
versity) in 1789, and after an interval took up the study of theology 
with the celebrated Dr. Nathaniel Emmons of Franklin. Receiving 
calls from two parishes, Leicester, Mass. and Wardsboro, Vt., 
he accepted the latter and was there ordained to the Congregational 
ministry 4 Nov. 1795, Dr. Emmons making the three days journey 
on horseback to preach the ordination sermon. The salary was 
£60 the first year, to be increased £2 each year till it reached £80, 
which was to be the permanent amount. Here he continued 42 years 
as pastor, and as senior pastor five years more. He also kept the 
first post office in the place, for the three towns of Wardsboro, Strat- 
ton and Somerset, and retained the position twenty-nine years. Died

She had an acute, strong mind, and most retentive memory, was quick 
to learn and was considered as a well educated woman during her 
life, though having very limited opportunity to attend school. When 
a young girl she had an ambition to study grammar, but it was not 
thought best for a girl to do that. Her brother studied with the minis- 
ter in Upton, and she kept up with him at home until finally she had 
permission to recite with him, and showed how fully she had mastered

the subject. She began teaching school in 1792, at the age of fifteen, 
teaching chiefly in Grafton and Upton, receiving fifty cents a week, 
and more cadi year, up to one dollar and a half, when, as she re- 
marked, she was ashamed to ask any more, as no other teacher in 
town received over a dollar a week. When ninety years of age she 
addressed a teachers' meeting in Vermont, and in the course of her 
remarks spoke of her first school, seventy-five years before. 

After the death of her husband she continued to live in the par- 
sonage with her son John, and after his removal to the West, still 
for a time resided at the old home, but in 1864 went to live with her 
daughter, Mrs. Newton, in Newfane, where she died 22 Aug. 1870.

Children, all born in West Sutton : 

i. Jason, b. 9 Oct. 1824. After leaving school he was for several 
years engaged in teaching singing. Becoming interested in the 
anti-slavery movement, his contributions to the press in the 
years_ preceding the Civil war attracted the attention of the 
thinking public. Although not seeking or expecting office he 
was elected to the General Court for 1862-63 and again 1863- 
64. Early in his first session, the Military committee unani- 
mously reported a bill appropriating $500,000 for the purchase 
of small arms for the state troops, limiting choice to the old 
Springfield pattern. Mr. Waters moved an amendment that 
said arms should be " of such pattern as the Governor and 
Council shall deem best adapted to the use for which it is to be 
applied." This amendment was lost in the lower house, hut 
its author called the matter to the attention of influential sena- 
tors, with the result that the Senate inserted it in the bill. < m

breech loading rifles and proceeded to demonstrate by actual 
experiment their immen e superiority. This direct proof. 
backt '1 up by extracts from letters of the fighting generals at 
the front, carried the day. The House accepted the Senate 
amendment, a committee was appointed to investigate the mat- 
ter, and the Spencer repeating rifle was chosen* Thus through

her soldier- a weapon superior to any then in use.

the confinement and hard work, he traveled for several com-

above 100 miles to Jefferson Co., X. Y., to some relatives, where 
he found a home for his mother. Speaking in later life of the trials 
of his early years, he was wont to say that he had a large penny 
which he always kept in his pocket, so that no one could say he was 
" not worth a cent," but it was all he had many times. In 1817 he 
removed to York, Livingston Co., X. Y., where he had in the 
preceding year purchased 33 acres of land. Upon this he built a 
log dwelling and the first saw-mill in that part of the town. Here

Jonathan Chester Forbush, son of Silas and Clarissa (Eames) 
Forbush ; born in Grafton, 14 July, 1825. He resided with his 
father on his farm, George Hill, Grafton, until he was twenty years 
of age, when he removed to the centre of the town and entered the 
shoe manufactory of his uncle Calvin W. Forbush. In 1852 he 
formed a partnership with Nathaniel Brown under the firm name For- 
bush & Brown, of which firm his cousin Justin Forbush was also a 
member till his death in 1859. In the spring of 1853 they moved 
their shop to Buffalo, N". Y., where Mr. Forbush continued to 
reside the rest of his life. In business the firm was very successful, 
and for a number of years after the retirement of his partner, Mr. 
Forbush was sole proprietor. 

Of that strength and ruggedness of character which has been al- 
ways a distinguishing mark of the sons of New England, he was 
thoroughly devoted to home and family, loyal to his faith as a life- 
long and active member of the Church of Our Father (Unitarian), 
and in politics a stalwart Republican. Died in Buffalo, N. Y., 19 
Sept. 1901. He married in Grafton, 31 May, 1848, Susan

Samuel Benjamin Flagg 4 [Table IV.] ; born at the old 
homestead, Grafton, 6 Aug. 1828. Left fatherless at thirteen, he 
resolved to use his patrimony in preparing himself for life's work, 
going away to school first at Bolton, and later at Leicester Academy 
and Quaboag Seminary, Warren. On finishing his preparatory 
studies in 1846, he entered the freshman class at Brown University, 
where he was graduated A.B. in 1850. 

Hampered in choice of a profession by a vocal trouble, he turned 
to medicine, studying with Dr. Henry Parker of his native place 
and attending courses of lectures at Vermont Medical School, 
Woodstock, and Berkshire Medical Institution, Pittsfield. At the 



68 DESCENDANTS OF ELEA/.EK FLAGG. 

latter school lie received the degree M.D. in 1854, and began the 
practice of his profession in Boston. 

At length a successful course of treatment for his voice left him 
free to follow natural inclination, and he entered the Meadville 
Theological School at Meadville, Penn. At the completion of the 
course lure in 1858 he began his real life work in the Unitarian 
ministry, going first to Kalamazoo, Mich., where under his efforts 
a church was organized. 

After remaining six years and seeing the society well established, 
he returned to his native New England, where he held the following 
pastorates: Waltham, 1865-69, Sandwich, 1869-70, Bernardston, 
1873-84, Bridgewater, 1884-85, Green Harbor, 1887-91, Dix- 
field, Maine, 1801-92, Sandwich, a second time, 1893-98. On 
resigning 1 from his last charge, in gratification of an oft-expressed 
wish he returned to end his days in his native town. Died in 
Grafton 16 Nov. 1900. 

In his makeup were found the best characteristics of the old New 
Englandstock — a high sense of honor, lack of ostentation, and a 
sturdy independence that never accepted any teaching, religious, 
political or other, because it was labeled orthodox, and never feared 
to stand alone. That reverence for authority which will palliate or 
uphold injustice, found in him no advocate, and the question of 
right was ever one in which the personality or status of the parties 
weighed nothing at all. 

He was a lover of nature — long rambles over hill and forest 
were his delight ; and the farm training of boyhood left its trace in 
a fondness for outdoor country life. 

A modest man, he never took the place in his profession to which 
his abilities entitled him ; all self advertisement and that striving 
after popularity, which is so much in evidence even in the pulpit 
to-day, were equally abhorrent to him. 

In his religious nature, the most marked peculiarity was his de- 
votional fervor: in the words of a brother minister, "Some one has 
said that a Methodist heart and a Unitarian head in the same person 
would make the best kind of a Christian : Mr. Flagg had them 
both." 

AVhile ever active in the interest of his church, it was as no mere 
sectarian; everywhere he was on closest terms with the ministers 
of other faiths, and especially in his last years nothing interested 
him more than the signs of growing charity and co-operation be- 
tween denominations, a movement he had no small share in pro- 
moting.

the principalship of Monson Academy which he held till failing health 
compelled his resignation in 1859. His hold as a teacher °on the 
affection and respect of his pupils is shown by the fact that twenty- 
five years after this resignation, they raised a fund of $400 for a 
portrait of him to hang in the Academy. 

After his resignation, health was in time restored, but he did not 
again attempt public service in any capacity. With undiminished 
interest in the work of education, he took to private teaching, taking 
a few boys or young men into his family. In addition to this he

APPENDIX. 



THE FLAGG ANCESTRY. 



[Material gathered chiefly from Bond's " Family Memorials . . . Watertown " ; 
" Concord, Massachusetts. Births, Marriages and Deaths"; Fuller's " Eleazer 
Flagg of Concord, Mass., and His Descendants " (in the Maine Genealogist and 
Biographer for March, 1877) ; North's " History of Augusta (Maine)."] 

I. 

Thomas Flegg,* son of Bartholomew and Alicia ( ) 

Flegg; baptized at Whinbergh, County Norfolk, England, in 1615. 
He came to this country with Richard Carver in 1637, embarking 
at Scratbv, Norfolk. 

Though not among the first proprietors of the town of Water- 
town, his name is found on the records as early as 1641 ; appears 
as owner of a " homestall " of 6 acres, also a lot of 20 acres which 
had been originally granted to one John Rose in the " 1st great 
dividend," 25 July, 1636. Thomas Flegg seems to have been a 
man of some prominence in the town; was selectman 1671-76, 
'78, '81, '85-87. As far as is known he was ancestor of all bearing 
the name in this country. Died 6 Feb. 1697-8. Married Alary 
, who died 30 Dec. 1702. 

Children : 

i. Gershom, b. Watertown, 16 Apr. 1641 ; was a tanner ; rem. 

to Woburn about 1668. He held a commission a- lieutenant 

in King William's war and was killed by the Indians in a 

skirmish at Wheelwright's Pond (Lee, N. H.), 6 July, 1690. 

m. 1668, Hannah Leppingwell. (7 sons, 3 dau.) 
ii. Johx, b. Watertown, 11 June, 1643; res. Watertown; d. 6 

Feb. 1696-7. m. 1670, Mary Gale. (1 son. 2 dau.) 
iii. Bartholomew, b. Watertown, ■!■) Feb. 1644-5; served in 

Capt. Samuel Moseley's company in King Philip's war, 167.3. 

Probably d. before 1697, as he is not mentioned in his father'- 

* Flegg is the English form of the name, still adhered to by our cousins in the mother 
country and followed here for the first 80 or 100 years. For the ancestry of Th 
Flegg, reference is made to a tabular pedigree by Miss Harriet A. Bainbridge of Lon- 
don, printed in North's History of Augusta, .Maine. The line is carried back without 
a break to William Flegg who died 142U ; also mention made of A s and De 

Fleggs of earlier date. 

In the 12th and 13th centuries the head of the family was lord of the manor of Fief" 
Hall, in Winterton, Hundred of East Flegg, Co. Norfolk.

time of King Philip's war. and killed by the Indians in the 
massacre of 22 Aug. 1675. 

vi. Michael, b. Watertown, 23 Mar. 1650-51; res. Watertown.

III. 

Eleazer Flegg (2d), bom about 1G87. Lived in Concord, 
where he was constable and surveyor of highways. He was one of 
the original forty purchasers of Hassanamisco (Grafton). On the 
various divisions of the land among the 'proprietors, 1728-1744, he 
received parcels aggregating about 150 acres. There is no evidence 
that he himself ever lived in the new town, but unlike some others, 
his interest was not that of a speculator in land. The following 
deeds of jnft are on file in the Worcester Co. court house : To his 
son Eleazer Flagg, 50 acres, 17 Nov. 1731 ; To his son Robert 
Flagg, 34 acres, 26 Jan. 1737-8 ; To his son Nathaniel Flagg, 
43£ acres, 7 Feb. 1744. 

Eleazer the father was also a petitioner for the Narragansett town- 
ships, as eldest male heir of his father, and on the setting- apart of 
these lands by the General Court in 1733 his name is found as a 
grantee of Narragansett No. 6 (now Templeton) ; also the entry 
that he received lot 94W in the division of that township in 1735. 

He died in Concord 28 March, 1745, in his 59th year. 

Married, Concord, 26 Jan. 1708-9, Deborah Tompkins, daugh-

iel Flagg was appointed administrator and gave bonds L2 Jan. 
1756. It is evident that he left no wife or children, a- the 
court, in appointing a committee of appraisal, added these in- 
structions: "When you have thus perfi cted your iir, 
you are to divide the same among the Brothers and Sisters of 
the dec' 1 . & to the heirs of such ai ••'." Heirs were

Bjchard Rockwood.* Nothing definite is known of his parent- 
age and early home ; it is quite probable that he came from Wey- 
mouth, Dorsetshire, Eng., as he was associated with others from 
that locality. Was a planter in Dorchester before 1636 and later 
removed to Braintree, where he had a grant of land for 5 heads, 24 
Feb. 1639-40. Died 16(30. Little is known regarding his two 
wives. The first, Mrs. Agnes Rockwood, is thought to have been 
a daughter of Zachary Bicknell ; she died in Braintree, 9 May, 

1643. Richard Rockwood's second wife was Anne , who 

died, Feb. 1664. He had three and perhaps more children, among

*For the first century after the appearance of the family in this country the name as 
it appears on the public records is almost uniformly written " Rockett." . Minn- 
Morse, the genealogist, states that this was in accordance with the pronunciation ; hut 
that the earliest generations at least, signed themselves Rockwoods. Rockwood is a 
common surname in England, while Rockett is nearly or quite unknown.

in the new town, of which he was elected first town clerk. Morse 
says "He was styled Rev. on the records, probably from his speak-
